It’s MultiTarnDruck for the Bundeswehr

Sunday, February 14th, 2016

The German Army has announced two new camouflage patterns for limited use. First, is the MultiTarnDruck which translates to Multi Camouflage Pattern. It’s a transitional pattern and will most likely supplant the German military’s limited use of MultiCam. Interestingly, the German Government has taken steps to protect the patterns in much the same manner as the USMC protects MARPAT.

Next up is SchneeTarmDruck or Snow Camo Pattern. In this photo, the new pattern can be seen atop the current pattern. These should start rolling into service once the German government provides industry with the specifications to print the patterns.

Wednesday, February 10th, 2016

There are loads of mobility platforms at the Great American Outdoor Show from a wide variety of manufacturers. There’s everything from boats to motorcycles to tracked ATVs. I even picked up a fat tire bike.

Granted, I was drawn to this Kawasaki KLR 650 by its paint job, but it is a great bike. This Enduro-style bike boasts a 651cc four-stroke single-cylinder engine, Long-travel 41mm telescopic fork, Adjustable Uni-Trak® rear suspension, 6.1-gallon fuel tank for long-range adventure touring, Large windscreen helps reduce wind buffeting and Sturdy rear cargo rack.
